[Introducing] Elephant Stone – Lucid Post-Psych

Why We Care: There are several competing schools of psych vying for attention wherever you go on the internet. A cursory flick through hypem will confront you with the paisley printed softness of Foxygen, the intricate melodies of Temples and the savage psych-heavy hits of Weirds. As we briefly ranted last week the problem with Psych-if there is one- is that there’s so much of it and its all so different. Which I guess is a good thing when you’re a fan but not when you’re a blogger, desperately clutching at similes to differentiate between a ever growing mass of neo-psych buzz-bands. Elephant Stone sound like REM after a brief trip to an ashram which, unsurprisingly, is pretty laid back. File somewhere between Foxygen and Temples.
